Summary
The EU Court of Justice ruled that a third-country national cannot be prosecuted for facilitating illegal entry into the EU solely because they bring their minor child with them. The Court clarified that such action is considered a normal exercise of parental responsibility and does not fall under the EU’s definition of assisting unauthorized entry. The case involved a woman arrested in Italy in 2019 for entering with her daughter and granddaughter using false passports. The Court emphasized that Member States cannot criminalize conduct not covered by EU law, reaffirming that EU legislation and the Charter of Fundamental Rights protect such parental actions.
